This was a feature intended from the very beginning that somehow never
got written. It's a way to replace these sort of error messages out of
the GVariant parser:
1-2,10-15:unable to find a common type
with something in the style of the Vala compiler:
unable to find a common type:
[1, 2, 3, 'str']
^ ^^^^^

Most GErrors, such as GSomethingError, have a function to get
their quark that looks like g_something_error_quark(),
so bindings (such as gtkmm) would expect GVariantParseError
to have g_variant_parse_error_quark(). Instead this had
g_variant_parser_get_error_quark().
This deprecates the old function and adds the correct one,
making life easier for gtkmm (and maybe others).

This is really just a very crude and limited conditional breakpoint.
Update the documentation to explain conditional breakpoints in
gdb instead. Also, remove the link to refdbg, which appears dead.

g_test_set_nonfatal_assertions() was a no-op, because
g_assertion_message() wasn't actually checking the
test_nonfatal_assertions flag. Fix that and add a test.
Also, g_test_set_nonfatal_assertions() has to set test_mode_fatal to
FALSE as well, or else a failed assertion will cause the test program
to abort at the end of the failed test.
Also, belatedly add this and the new g_assert_* methods to the docs.

Since the initial addition of BeOS support in 1999, there has only
been one update to it (in 2005, and it wasn't even very big). GLib is
known to not currently build on Haiku (or presumably actual BeOS)
without additional patching, and the fact that there isn't a single
G_OS_BEOS check in gio/ is suspicious.
Additionally, other than the GModule implementation, all of the
existing G_OS_BEOS checks are either (a) "G_OS_UNIX || G_OS_BEOS", or
(b) random minor POSIXy tweaks (include this header file rather than
that one, etc), suggesting that if we were going to support Haiku, it
would probably be simpler to treat it as a special kind of G_OS_UNIX
(as we do with Mac OS X) rather than as its own completely different
thing.
So, kill G_OS_BEOS.

Add g_settings_schema_has_key() and _get_range(), _range_check(),
_get_value_type(), _get_default_value() methods on GSettingsSchemaKey.
Deprecate the equivalent APIs on GSettings.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=683017
Add two new APIs: g_settings_get_user_value() and
g_settings_get_default_value(). Together, these should allow the
inspection of all interesting cases of "is this key set?" and "what
would happen if I reset this key?"
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=668233
g_settings_list_schemas() and g_settings_list_relocatable_schemas() are
now deprecated.
This will allow listing off schemas on non-default sources and is a
better fit with the new direction the API is going.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=680838
Add an API to read the summary and description from the .xml schema
files.
This will be used by dconf-editor and gnome-tweak-tool.
This API is a bit heavy -- it parses the XML and builds a table. It
also loads gettext domains for translation. It only does these things
if it is used, however, so it will not impact normal applications.
We store the summary/description in a pair of hash tables on the schema
source (which we have a backref to as of a few commits ago). We can't
use a global table because people might want to request summary and
description from non-default sources. We don't want to use per-schema
tables because we'd have to reparse the directory every time (since we
cannot guess which file a schema may have been in).
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=668232
Take this private API and make it public along with a boxed type and
ref/unref functions.
Future commits will add accessors with new functionality and some that
allow us to deprecate functions on GSettings itself (such as
g_settings_get_range).
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=668232
This indicates whether the thumbnail (given by G_FILE_ATTRIBUTE_THUMBNAIL_PATH)
is valid — i.e. to represent the file in its current state. If
G_FILE_ATTRIBUTE_THUMBNAIL_IS_VALID is FALSE (for a normal _or_ failed
thumbnail) it means the file has changed since the thumbnail was generated, and
the thumbnail is out of date.
Part of checking thumbnail validity (by the spec) involves parsing
headers out of the thumbnail .png so we include some (small) code to do
that in a separate file. We will likely want to copy this code to gvfs
to do the same for GVfsFile.
Heavily based on a patch from Philip Withnall <philip.withnall@collabora.co.uk>
who suggested the feature and designed the API.

There are a number of nice things this class brings:
0) Has a race-free termination API on all platforms (on UNIX, calls to
kill() and waitpid() are coordinated as not to cause problems).
1) Operates in terms of G{Input,Output}Stream, not file descriptors
2) Standard GIO-style async API for wait() with cancellation
3) Makes some simple cases easy, like synchronously spawning a
process with an argument list
4) Makes hard cases possible, like asynchronously running a process
with stdout/stderr merged, output directly to a file path
Much rewriting and code review from Ryan Lortie <desrt@desrt.ca>

This is essentially a commandline implementation of the client-side of
the org.freedesktop.Application D-Bus interface.
It includes support for tab-completion based on desktop files and their
contents.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=704218
Add a pair of functions to make it easier to do simple string matching.
This will be useful for use with things like GtkSearchBar and will also
be the basis of the searching done by the (soon to appear)
g_desktop_app_info_search()
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=709753
A counterpart for parsing of detailed actions into (name, target) pairs,
this new function prints them back.
We also add a new function to check for validity of action names. Only
valid action names are allowed when printing. Parsing accepts _some_
invalid names for backwards compatibility.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=704157
For some time, the desktop file specification has supported "additional
application actions". This is intended to allow for additional methods
of starting an app, such as a mail client having a "Compose New Message"
action that brings up the compose window instead of the folder list.
This patch adds support for this with a relatively minimal API.
In the case that the application is a GApplication and DBusActivatable,
desktop actions are translated into GActions that have been added to the
application with g_action_map_add_action(). This more or less closes
the loop on being able to activate an application with an action
invocation (instead of 'activate').
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=664444
Add a new type of GAction that represents the value of a property on an
object. As an example, this might be used on the "visible-child-name"
property of a GtkStack.

As it turns out, we have examples of internal functions called
type_name_get_private() in the wild (especially among older libraries),
so we need to use a name for the per-instance private data getter
function that hopefully won't conflict with anything.
Started off by using the new instance private data macro, ended up
cleaning up the obscure, out of date, or simply broken concepts and
paragraphs.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=700035
Mark 'test', 'test-report', 'perf-report' and 'full-report' as PHONY in
docs/Makefile.am to prevent recursion of gtester into the documentation
subdirectories. Stop including Makefile.decl from these directories
since it is no longer necessary.
This will clear up the warnings about EXTRA_DIST being defined once in
gtk-doc.make and again in Makefile.decl.
Add a pair of functions for returning strings that don't need to be
freed. This is a bit of a hack but it will turn the 99% case of using
these functions from:
gchar *tmp;
tmp = g_test_build_filename (...);
fd = open (tmp, ...);
g_free (tmp);
to:
fd = open (g_test_get_filename (...), ...);
which is a pretty substantial win.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=549783
g_test_trap_fork() doesn't work on Windows and is potentially flaky on
unix anyway given the fork-but-don't-exec. Replace it with
g_test_trap_subprocess(), which re-spawns the same program with
arguments telling it to run a specific (otherwise-ignored) test case.
Make the existing g_test_trap_fork() unit tests be unix-only (they
never passed on Windows anyway), and add a parallel set of
g_test_trap_subprocess() tests.
Also fix the logic of gtestutils's "-p" argument (which is used by the
subprocess tests); previously if you had tests "/foo/bar" and
"/foo/bar/baz", and ran the test program with "-p /foo/bar/baz", it
would run "/foo/bar" too. Fix that and add tests.

Higher order languages with garbage collection can have issues releasing
a binding, as they do not control the last reference being dropped on
the binding, source, or target instances.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=698018
The way of getting the default value out of a GParamSpec is to allocate
a GValue, initialise it, then call g_param_spec_set_default() to set the
default value into that GValue.
This is exactly how we handle setting the default value for all of the
construct properties that were not explicitly passed to g_object_new().
Instead of doing the alloc/init/store on all construct properties on
every call to g_object_new(), we can cache those GValues in the private
data of the GParamSpec itself and reuse them.
This patch does not actually make that change to g_object_new() yet, but
it adds the API to GParamSpec so that a future patch to GObject can make
the change.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=698056
Since instance private data is now always at a constant offset to the
instance pointer, we can add an accessor for it that doesn't also
require an instance.
The idea is that classes can call this from their class_init and store
it in a file-scoped static variable and use that to find their private
data on instances very quickly, without a priv pointer.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=698056
This function takes a GIcon, serialises it and sets the resulting
GVariant as the "icon" attribute on the menu item. We will need to add
a patch to Gtk to actually consume this icon.
Also add G_MENU_ATTRIBUTE_ICON.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=688820
GBytesIcon is an icon that has a GBytes inside of it where the GBytes
contains some sort of encoded image in a widely-recognised file format.
Ideally this will be a PNG.
It implements GLoadableIcon, so GTK will already understand how to use
it, but we will add another patch there to make things more efficient.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=688820
Lots of people have variously asked for APIs like
g_variant_new_string_printf() in order to avoid having to use
g_strdup_printf(), create a GVariant using g_variant_new_string(), then
free the temporary string.
Instead of supporting that, plus a million other potential cases,
introduce g_variant_new_take_string() as a compromise.
It's not possible to write:
v = g_variant_new_take_string (g_strdup_printf (....));
to get the desired result and avoid the extra copies. In addition, it
works with many other functions.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=698455
This feature is intended for clients that want to signal a desktop shell
their busy state, for instance because a long-running operation is
pending.
The API works in a similar way to g_application_hold and
g_application_release: applications can call g_application_mark_busy()
to increase a counter that will keep the application marked as busy
until the counter reaches zero again.
The busy state is exported read-only on the org.gtk.Application interface
for clients to use.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=672018
Expand and formalise the syntax for detailed action names, adding a
well-documented (and tested) public parser API for them.
Port the only GLib-based user of detailed action names to the new API:
g_menu_item_set_detailed_action(). The users in Gtk+ will also be
ported soon.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=688954
Add GSimpleProxyResolver, for letting people do static proxy
resolution, and to use as a base class for other resolvers (such as
GProxyResolverGnome).
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=691105
Add a proxy-resolver property to GSocketClient, to allow overriding
proxy resolution in situations where you need to force a particular
proxy rather than using the system defaults.

There are two benefits to this:
1) We can centralize any operating system specific knowledge of
close-vs-EINTR handling. For example, while on Linux we should never
retry, if someone cared enough later about HP-UX, they could come by
and change this one spot.
2) For places that do care about the return value and want to provide
the caller with a GError, this function makes it convenient to do so.
Note that gspawn.c had an incorrect EINTR loop-retry around close().

Adding file descriptors to a GSource provides similar functionality to
the old g_source_add_poll() API with two main differences.
First: the list of handles is managed internally and therefore users are
prevented from randomly modifying the ->events field. This prepares us
for an epoll future where changing the event mask is a syscall.
Second: keeping the list internally allows us to check the ->revents for
events for ourselves, allowing the source to skip implementing
check/prepare. This also prepares us for the future by allowing an
implementation that doesn't need to iterate over all of the sources
every time.
